073 Second Brave Thing
Jing Xi didn't step forward to ask Chen Taohua what was going on, she felt that she might need to be left alone.
The newly fried tofu balls are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, Jing Xi took a bite and was surprised to find that Sixi had also put minced meat in it.
Minced meat and ginger are mixed together, wrapped in a smooth tofu puree, which opens her taste buds at once. She was not a gluttonous person before, but now she is supported by Sixi.
Cold fried goods cannot be sealed, the cupboard space is too small to fit, and farmers generally put things in baskets and hang them on the beams of the house, so as to ventilate and prevent rats from stealing food.
Mrs. Sheng was burning the fire, Sixi was frying tofu, so Jing Xi moved a stool and stood up, ready to hang up the basket.
The ground was dirt and a little uneven, and the stool shook a little when she stood on it.
As soon as she was about to get down, an extra pair of hands held her firmly on her back.
When I looked down, it was Chen Taohua.
Jing Xi was stunned for a moment and laughed: "Thank you." ”
"......" Chen Taohua opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Because Jing Xi is too open, from his eyes to all his words and deeds, it is not at all like Gao Xiuxiu said, and he has a head and end with her husband.
Chen Taohua worked sullenly, and finally couldn't help but ask Jingxi with her eyebrows:
"Sister-in-law, did you see Brother Rong just now?" If...... If she lies, it means that there is really something between the two.
How did Jing Xi know the hundred turns and thousands of turns in Chen Taohua's heart, and only told the truth:
"See, I met the second brother when I first entered the door, and the third room invited the mason again, and the second brother kindly reminded me."
After Jing Xi finished speaking, he asked, "Is there something wrong with your husband and wife?" If you have anything, just leave it to me. ”
Chen Taohua was silent again, she was suspicious of her, but she still had to help herself.
Myself...... Chen Taohua bit her lip, she suddenly felt so despicable.
Even if she doesn't believe in concubines, doesn't she trust her husband?
How could Brother Rong have such thoughts about his brother and sister-in-law?
Chen Taohua wiped her hands on her apron in a trance, and muttered, "Then I'll go find Brother Rong." ”
Jing Xi hummed.
As soon as Chen Taohua left, Mrs. Sheng frowned: "Is the little couple quarreling?" ”
Jing Xi shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't ask in detail." ”
……
Under the abrupt wall in the center of the courtyard, Gao Xiuxiu was talking to Sheng Rong.
"Second brother, you see that I have already paid off the mason's salary today, and he won't come over tomorrow, second brother, you promised me that I wouldn't tell anyone about me, so it's okay to talk."
Sheng Rong did see Gao Xiuxiu send the mason with his own eyes, and thought that she really had the intention to correct it.
Then he said: "Naturally, I am what I say. ”
Gao Xiuxiu smiled: "That's good." ”
But out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Taohua walking towards her.
She rolled her eyes, thought for a while, and suddenly raised her voice: "Second brother, don't worry, I will never talk nonsense about this." ”
The wall blocked Sheng Rong's view, and he didn't know that his wife was coming this way.
It's just that he didn't understand why Gao Xiuxiu suddenly said such a sentence, but he wasn't interested in what Gao Xiuxiu thought in his heart, so he simply turned around and left.
Gao Xiuxiu saw that Sheng Rong didn't reply, so she quickly pulled Chen Taohua to the backyard.
Chen Taohua shook off her hand: "What are you pulling me here for?" ”
Gao Xiuxiu glanced at the front yard and said in surprise: "So you didn't hear it?" ”
Chen Taohua frowned: "What did you hear?" ”
Gao Xiuxiu looked sympathetic and let out a long sigh:
"Alas~ I thought you heard it all. Just now I asked my second brother who he was talking to outside the courtyard, and he was so angry that he didn't allow me to say it. ”
"You also saw it just now, he was obviously with Jing Xi...... However, when he saw that I had broken it, he told me a lot of great truths, and he didn't want me to spread it, and he didn't want you to know about it, so I agreed to him. ”
"......" Chen Taohua choked up, just now she did hear Gao Xiuxiu promise to say, 'Absolutely not to talk nonsense'
So he really did it to his brother and sister-in-law......
Chen Taohua's eyes were red, and she suddenly gritted her teeth: "I'm going to go to him to ask for clarification!" ”
"Wait a minute! Are you stupid? Gao Xiuxiu immediately grabbed Chen Taohua, "You just ask him what good is it for you?" ”
"Caught in pairs, you and I just saw them talking together, you plan to tear your face and ask him now, he will definitely not admit it, maybe you will complain that you are not generous enough."
"Is that what it is?"
"I think you can test it first, but don't say it so bluntly, to put it bluntly, men will lose face."
"Then I can't even ask now?"
Gao Xiuxiu just caught Chen Taohua's timidity and lack of assertiveness, so she instigated:
"But you can't be so straightforward, you think, which cat doesn't steal. My brother Chang, to this day, sometimes I still call his good name in my dreams. ”
"But so what, his people are here with me, although there is a small place in my heart for that woman, but most of it is still on me, and that's enough."
"So don't tear your face with the second brother, you just ask tentatively, if he feels guilty about you, he will change his mind. But if he is still secretly defending Jingxi, you don't give him a good life! ”
Chen Taomu blinked his eyes, and then raised his hand to wipe his tears.
She still didn't want to believe it.
But the seeds of doubt sprouted in her heart. When the wind blows, it grows wantonly and without any rules.
……
Chen Taohua is timid and cowardly.
She herself knows this very well, before marrying Sheng Rong, she had been in the bag for sixteen years.
She often thinks that breaking off the relationship with her family and marrying Sheng Rong is probably the most courageous thing she has ever done in her life.
has been married for more than two years, although they are not like glue, but they can also be said to be husband and wife, she really doesn't want to believe what Gao Xiuxiu said.
So, today she did what she thinks is the second bravest thing in her life.
She didn't follow Gao Xiuxiu's advice and chose not to face it squarely and not to pierce it.
Instead, Sheng Rong, Jing Xi and Mrs. Sheng were gathered in their rooms.
She wants to speak in front of the head of the family.
If it's true, she'll admit it.
If things are fake, she apologizes.
……
Chen Taohua explained the matter clearly.
Jing Xi was directly stunned, and it took a while to react: "Gao Xiuxiu...... Are you really not afraid to get away with it? ”。
Sheng Rong directly gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "Poisonous woman!" This poisonous woman! This hypocritical two-faced person, I'm going to find her now! ”
